Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






2. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project






3. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities

11. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






12. Analytical technique that uses three cost or duration estimates to represent optimistic - most likely and pessimistic scenarios.






13. A category of projects that have common components significant in such projects - but are not needed or present in all projects. application areas are usually defined in terms of either the product or the type of customer or industry sector






14. Document that graphically depicts the project team members and their interrelationships for a specific project






15. A general data gathering and creativity technique that can be used to identify risks - ideas or solutions to issues by using a group of team members or subject matter experts






16. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat






17. Information and data on the status of the project schedule activities being performed to accomplish the project work collected as part of the direct and manage project execute processes. Information includes: status of deliverables - implementation s






18. Any unique and verifiable product - result - or capability to perform a service that must be produced to complete a process - phase or project.






19. Document that describes how the project scope will be defined - developed and verified and how the work breakdown structure will be created and defined and that provides guidance on how the project scope will be managed and controlled by the project






20. Document that establishes criteria and activities for developing and controlling the project schedule






21. Schedule activity that follows a predecessor activity as determined by their logical relationship






22. A documented tabulation of schedule activities that shows the activity description - activity identifier - and a sufficiently detailed scope of work description so project team members understand what work is to be performed






23. Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






24. Specific type of management activity that contributes to the execution of a process and that may employ one or more techniques and tools






25. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






26. Processes required to manage the timely completion of a project






27. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






28. Total number of work periods required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component.






29. A collection of formal documented procedures that define how project deliverables and documentation will be controlled - changed and approved. in most application areas - the change control system is a subset of the configuration management system






30. Any form of schedule network analysis in which scheduling decisions are driven by resource constraints






31. Technique for estimating that applies a weighted average of optimistic - pessimistic and most likely estimates when there is uncertainty with the individual activity estimates






32. Collection of generally sequential - non overlapping product phases whose name and number are determined by the manufacturing and control needs of the organization.






33. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






34. Document containing the results of the qualitative risk analysis - quantitative risk analysis and risk response planning. details all identified risks including description - category - cause - probability of occurring - impact on objectives - propos






35. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






36. A specific technique for measuring the performance of work and used to establish the performance measurement baseline






37. Action taken to bring a defective or nonconforming component into compliance with requirements or specifications






38. Change to project scope. almost always requires an adjustment to the project cost or schedule






39. Graphical representation of situations showing causal influences - time ordering of events and other relationships among variables and outcomes

41. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






42. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me
